Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:

 - Add support for control flow integrity for userspace processes.

   This is based on the standard RISC-V ISA extensions Zicfiss and
   Zicfilp

 - Improve ptrace behavior regarding vector registers, and add some
   selftests

 - Optimize our strlen() assembly

 - Enable the ISO-8859-1 code page as built-in, similar to ARM64, for
   EFI volume mounting

 - Clean up some code slightly, including defining copy_user_page() as
   copy_page() rather than memcpy(), aligning us with other
   architectures; and using max3() to slightly simplify an expression
   in riscv_iommu_init_check()

<content type='text'>
On several powerpc platforms, a page table entry may not imply whether the
relevant mapping is for userspace or kernelspace.  Instead, such platforms
infer this by the address which is being accessed.

Add an additional address argument to each of these routines in order to
provide support for page table check on powerpc.

This reverts commit aa232204c468 ("mm/page_table_check: remove unused

Reinstate previously unused parameters for the purpose of supporting
powerpc platforms, as many do not encode user/kernel ownership of the page
in the pte, but instead in the address of the access.

<content type='text'>
To provide support for powerpc platforms, provide an addr parameter to the
__page_table_check_ptes_set() and page_table_check_ptes_set() routines. 
This parameter is needed on some powerpc platforms which do not encode
whether a mapping is for user or kernel in the pte.  On such platforms,
this can be inferred from the addr parameter.

<title>riscv/mm: update write protect to work on shadow stacks</title>

'fork' implements copy-on-write (COW) by making pages readonly in both
child and parent.

ptep_set_wrprotect() and pte_wrprotect() clear _PAGE_WRITE in PTE.
The assumption is that the page is readable and, on a fault,
copy-on-write happens.

To implement COW on shadow stack pages, clearing the W bit makes them
XWR = 000. This will result in the wrong PTE setting, which allows no
permissions, but with V=1 and the PFN field pointing to the final
page. Instead, the desired behavior is to turn it into a readable
page, take an access (load/store) fault on sspush/sspop (shadow stack)
and then perform COW on such pages. This way regular reads would still
be allowed and not lead to COW maintaining current behavior of COW on
non-shadow stack but writeable memory.

On the other hand, this doesn't interfere with existing COW for
read-write memory.  The assumption is always that _PAGE_READ must have
been set, and thus, setting _PAGE_READ is harmless.

<title>riscv/mm: teach pte_mkwrite to manufacture shadow stack PTEs</title>

pte_mkwrite() creates PTEs with WRITE encodings for the underlying
architecture.  The underlying architecture can have two types of
writeable mappings: one that can be written using regular store
instructions, and another one that can only be written using
specialized store instructions (like shadow stack stores).
pte_mkwrite can select write PTE encoding based on VMA range (i.e.
VM_SHADOW_STACK)
